AbstractAn Entity- Relationship Diagram CERD> Normali2er and an ERO Automatic Layout are built to assist database design. The ERO Normali2er transforms non- normal form ERDs into the normal form. The ERD Automatic Layout can display different kinds of ERDs including regular and weak entities, regular and recursive relationships, and weak relationships such as EXIST, ID, ISA, UNI ON, INTERSECT, and DECOMPOSE relationships. The 1 ayout mechanism uses the unification feature of Prolog to look for the solution by searching the rules arranged in the order of importance in the RULE BASE. A heuristic criteria is introduced to arrange the rules.
